How many of you are embarrassed or afraid of going to the gym? (Page 2)

I feel self conscious and intimidated. I feel like people are gawking at me wondering how that whale is still running on the elliptical after an hour.

[Asker]

Aww, no need to feel that way! Nobody's judging you like that, trust me. If anything, they're impressed that you're at the gym, no matter your fitness level (they'd be impressed whether you were 500 lbs or a fitness monster or an average American woman).

By the way, you don't need to be spending an hour on the elliptical to get a good cardio session. 15-30 minutes on the treadmill, for example, would be plenty. Quality over quantity. Lifting weights is also really good for burning fat.

If there' a sidewalk where you live, run on that then you won't be self conscious.

I don't go to the gym because I don't have time from chaseing kids and a full time job the time just isn't there but I would love to go

I'm too broke to go to the gym., plus I have weights and such at home.

I don't go to the gym because I have my own gym at home.

Don't worry about what other people think.
